Girl Groups Wanted — Tonight
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Think you could be in the next Xscape?
Feel like you could help fill the void that Destiny’s Child and TLC left behind?
Well multimillion-selling Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy’s manager, Demetrius “Kinky B” Ellerbee is holding a talent call for female vocalists this evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at JOI Studios (2356 Park Central Blvd., Decatur, Ga. 30035).
Why? According to the press release, “to find/create the next female collective that will dominate the R&B music genre”.
The requirements? You must be 18 to 25-year-old. You have to live in or be willing to relocate to Atlanta. You have to be willing and able to work professionally with other females. (Of course). And you have to be able to meet and rehearse at a regularly scheduled time, consistently.
Solo vocalists and pre-existing groups are encouraged to audition. And auditions will be photographed and videotaped. So — of course (again) — be prepared vocally and visually.
“A maximum of four young ladies will be selected from all who audition to comprise a stunning new group with amazing vocals and sleek, sexy look reminiscent of classic groups like 702, SWV and Total,” reads the release. “THIS IS NOT A REALITY SHOW!!! This is a serious talent call to find a new group that will be signed to CTE/Def Jam (of which Ellerbee is co-CEO) and represented by Hush Management.”
For more information e-mail info@joistudiosatl.com or go to www.joistudiosatl.com.
Are you going to try out? Think R&B needs another 702, SWV or Total? (And if you aren’t old enough to know who they were, or need a reminder of what CTE is looking for, see the Metacafe and YouTube clips BELOW)
